Some ancient dragon destroys Aquileia and is planning to destroy Romalia. This dragon has some kind of magic defense, a huge offense and seems to be able to control other dragons. Not even Julio's dragon, that was being controlled by Windalfr's power, was able to withstand the mind control of the ancient dragon.

When Saito uses Derflinger to defend against one of the ancient dragon's attacks, the talking sword is destroyed after he acknowledges Saito as a fine man. I totally did not expect this to happen. How is Saito going to fight now?

The pope dies trying to fight the dragon, but he tries to save Julio by throwing him off the dragon just before he and Julio's dragon are eaten. So now Louise and Tiffa are the only void users in the world?

I have no idea how they're planning to defeat this dragon. I want to know more about him as well. Where did he come from and what is his goal?

Using Liveslatille's power seems to take its toll on Saito already, since he seemed to be in pain when he used it this episode. Using Liveslatille's power will shorten his life and now his sword got destroyed...Things aren't looking too good for Saito right now...

Sorry, i meant like why on earth did they have to kill him. I saw the ep, but like out of all the people that can die why him. He was one of my favorites.

The last trek of the journey has been reached, but this episode came as a shock.

Spoiler:

A very dear and important character to the franchise which remained as a trusted friend and companion to Saito suddenly obliterated to oblivion just in a go.

I mean what they did to Derflinger? It was a staple to the whole story just as Louise and Saito, and its death sure will be an astonishing loss for Saito without words to express it.

My theory as to why Saito's Liveslatille power did not come effective on the Pope was....

Spoiler:

learning from Louise out of the sudden that his life is compromised by the use of Liveslatille, particularly since he was already in the middle of a battlefield.

As for the dragon, they have now pulled the expected, world crisis event, and I believe this was triggered because the Void users have gathered, although it might not be case because not the four of them have gathered.

I also believe that this event is what the Elves were talking about, although they refer to the Apocalypse in general not as to what form or shape the crisis would be taking shape.

The most emotional part was undoubtedly Saito's good ol' trusted partner turning to dust. From the previews it seems that Saito will undergo some emotional distress, well who wouldn't after an old friend is taken away from you.

What the HELL just happend?
I will miss Derf
HOW the Fuck, could they do this? Derf was a Main Character, Saitos friend and Partner.
Really did they really have to do this?
I hated the Pope anyways, so I don't really care about him, but saying stuff like '' Julio, you got to live and then throw him of the Dragon, in to the Darkness. UH Duh,I think you just killed him Your Eminence, who could survive that?
Saito, must be really depressed now, he LOST his best Friend and Partner.
And the Preview good and bad at the same time!
I don't know if this can be considered as a spoiler, as it was a Preview,but I'll put it anyways as a Spoiler.

Spoiler for I don't know if this can be considered as a spoiler, as it was a Preview,but I'll put it anyways as a Spoiler.:

Louise is going to say something to Saito, what she couldn't or feared to tell him.
And the two parting Hands, is Saito going back to his World.
Please don't go back, Lousie needs you! ( or maybe Louise is going with him)?

what the hell is happening??? everything just go fast and I don't even understand what's going on...
so in conclusion, the world is nearing its end... ancient dragon appears... delf got destructed and Romalia's pope become snack...

then, in preview suddenly there is no more dragon... it becomes peaceful again??!!!

for Louise, I have a solution for you.... there is a place where no more world crisis so you can live peacefully with Saito without other girls disturbance.... yes! Saito's world!!! JUST GO THERE

Unless they are willing to wait about 70 years or about for the next portal ...

But in the Preview, one can see two hands parting.
Maybe Saitos going back home?

Too tell the truth, I cried this episode, straight when Delf took the attack, I cried, cause I knew what would happen.
2 More Episodes to Go, I can't wait for the next episodes, but on the other Hand, I don't want the Anime to End, this is the best Anime EVER.
I will really be depressed, when the Anime ends, even though there will still be the Light Novels, but theres also just 2 left. what should I do when there finished.

Well, sir, nice irony I see from your mouth. For me that episode was like "WTF?" They already ran off from visual novel, and for 2 episodes to the end, they are going to make "force" ending... WTF were with them from the 2nd, third etc episodes? They just did fillers with fanservice until the 9-10 episode... I am out of words, guys.

It's Louise's decision not Saito's one. Believe me or not, but I guess her decision has something to do with the Delf (cuz they aleady scerwed out the storyline with Visual Novel)

Saito needs to get the HAREM route, it's the only way to make everybody happy!

Delf's demise, if he is indeed gone, happened really quickly. I sort of like that; it feels more genuine. He is a talking, magical sword in a world filled with strange magic, though. It wouldn't surprise me too much if they found some way to bring him back.

They really cranked the fantasy dial up in this episode. A huge, ancient black dragon, flocks of dominated lesser dragons, airborne sorcery and armies of magic-wielding knights. It feels appropriately epic to close off the saga with, and I'm enjoying it a lot. Hope they keep it up for the final two!
